Births, Deaths
In County Listed
While the official compilation of
vital statistics for Deschutes
county will not be completed for
some 10 days, incomplete records
show that births and deaths are
down from the 1943 level. Even
so, health officials point out, the
348 births reported in 1944, as
compared to the 196 deaths occur
ring during the same period, in
dicate a healthy condition.
In the Redmond area, figures
complete to Dec. 1, 1944, show 79
births and 27 deaths. Redmond
area's official records for 1943
showed 100 births and 45 deaths.
The Deschutes county depart
ment of public health reported
that incomplete records, up to
Dec. 23, 1944, listed 269 births in
the Bend area during 1944. It re
ported 125 Bend deaths, 33 rural
deaths and 11 still births during
the same period for 1944.
194S Figures High
Officials records for 1943 show
that 507 births occurred in Lies
chutes county during 1943, or
159 more, than the 348 births re
ported so far for 1944. Health de
partment officials state that the
high birth figure for 1943 was
caused by the number of soldiers
stationed at Camp Abbot who had
families residing in the county,
In 1943, acording to official rec
ords, 203 deaths occurred in the
county, a figure only slightly high
er than the 196 which incomplete
records listed for the county in
1944. .
Building in Bend .
Past Year Low

ped back to one of the lowest
levels in the past 11 years, accord
ing to figures released By George
Simerville, city recorder, who re
vealed that permits for the year
totalled $35,375. Cessation of war
activities in the district and the
resultant lack of demaVid for ad
ditional housing facilities was be
lieved to have been the cause.
The lowest figure in the 11-year
period was 811,985 in 1933. In 1942
the permits totalled $38,578, and in
1934 they were 541.6UU.

mits issued in December, and the

Railroad and county officials
said an inquest will be called to
determine cause of the engineer's
death. There was evidence that he
had taken cognizance of signals
warning of his approach to the
first section of the train as he en
tered a "red block" signal and his
locomotive set off warning tor

the last car of the passenger sec
tion. A combination steel and
wood daycoach three cars from
the end was turned into a sham
bles of twisted steel, splintered
wood and torn bodies.
Whole Family Killed
If was in the daycoach that the
crudest tragedy occurred. The
lives of a family of four, and two
in-laws returning to their Nevada-
homes after a gala Christ
mas vacation in Ogden were
snuffed out. These dead were re
ported as Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Por
